Yes I have, but I'm going to keep messing with it too and see if it makes a difference.

Re: Amara View-Nose slippage

I love the mask. It seems like now that I've worn it, and it's stretching out and getting facial oil on it, it slips much worse.

Amara View-Nose slippage

Hi all, I recently got an Amara View mask. It went great at first, but now I am having a problem with my nose slipping into the hole during the night, which makes the back piece cover my nostrils and I have trouble breathing. Does anyone have any pointers on how to make this stop? I thought about cu...

Re: What about system one filters?

Definitely use the white and black filters together. My white filter is gray when I change it out because it catches a lot of stuff.

Re: Dry humidifier tank

I use an elastic bandage to keep my mouth closed, so that's not the issue. I've had this happen a couple of times before, and I've wondered if I have a defective humidifier....

Dry humidifier tank

Last night, I turned my humidifier up to 3 (Resp System One). I was awakened by the dry humidifier tank smell this morning. I had only slept maybe 6-6.5 hours. It shouldn't have went dry that quickly, should it? I'd hate to think of what it would do on 5.....

Re: Mirage Quattro Air update

The PAC website shows the Quattro Air liners are still in development. Did you contact her directly to order these?

Re: Mirage Quattro Air update

Do you have to pull it very tight or are you able to leave it looser on your face?

Re: Mirage Quattro Air update

How's it going with the Quattro Air and the liners? I have this mask and like it except for eye leaks. I can get it to stop but it has to be tightened way too tight. I'm considering getting a Padacheek liner to see if it would help with that (My issue seems to be that at the widest part of the mask,...

Re: cpap air filters on floor -white and gray

The electric cord can be directed down so that the round thing on it rests against the filters. That's what I have done and it keeps them from popping out. Mine does it once in a while, so I make sure to check them every night before I go to sleep just by feeling around back there.

Re: Quattro Air early review

This is great news! I love the Mirage FX and am tired of putting the elastic band around my face to keep from mouth leaking, and this looks so much like it, I'm anxious to get it and try it myself. Everything you said you like about it is what I like about the Mirage FX... can't wait!

Re: Humidifier running out of water

I decided to crank mine up to 4 the other night. After about 5 hours, I woke up to the burnt plastic smell. It had went completely dry. Kind weird since that wasn't even the highest setting and I hadn't had a full nights sleep (it was full when I started it).
